The avionics suite features an enhanced ground proximity system, the ACAS II airborne collision avoidance system and the RDR-4B weather radar. It also includes solid-state recorders (cockpit voice and flight data), an air data inertial reference system and communications and navigation systems from the Quantum line. The APU will be the 131-9A. Honeywell will also provide APU maintenance at its Singapore repair center. Aircraft deliveries will be spread between this year and 2011.
